Another huge piece has fallen into place for the HBO pilot of A GAME OF THRONES -- we have signed Sean Bean to play the part of Lord Eddard Stark ( Read more... )

Doesn't his head show up again in the second book? And are there any flashback scenes? I can't remember.

I love it! Sean Bean will be a great Eddard, and that kid who I've admittedly never heard of looks very much like my idea of Jon Snow. (He also resembles the Jon Snow from the 2009 Calendar). The series is going to rock. It will be picked up by HBO, win a bunch of awards, bring a ton of new fans to the books, GWB will be convicted of war crimes, and all will be well with the world. Yay!
